Chapter 1115


    The girl quickly took out her phone. “Mister Jeremy, if you don’t mind, can we exchange phone


    numbers?”


    …


    Corinne was in the taxi when Jeremy called. She looked briefly at the caller ID before answering her


    phone.


    “Where are you?” asked Jeremy in his deep voice.

    “I’m in the taxi on my way home,” said Corinne neutrally.


    “Why didn’t you wait for me?” he asked unhappily.


    “I didn’t want to bother you since you rarely have the time to hang out with your friends.”


    Jeremy pursed his lips for a few seconds before saying sternly, “Where are you now? I’ll go pick you up


    right away!”


    “No, that won’t be necessary since I’m almost home. You just have fun, okay? I’m going to hang up


    now. Bye.”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…


    Corinne quickly hung up after that.


    After she reached the Holdens’ mansion, she immediately questioned herself why she came back


    there. She chalked it down as her needing some time to collect her thoughts before deciding what to do


    next.


    There were only a few servants on standby in the living room since Greg and Pam had retired for


    the night.


    As soon as Corinne walked upstairs, she bumped into Francine, who seemed like she had juste


    out of her room and was about to go downstairs.


    “You sure took your sweet time toe back!” said Francine with her hands on her hips. “I can’t


    believe you left me to babysit a kid so young! He kept crying for you. Did you know how much effort it


    took me to get him to sleep? Never again!”


    Corinne and Jeremy tasked Francine to look after Joey when the two of them went out. They did not let


    Pam babysit him because they were worried he would be too much of a handful for the old woman.


    “me your brother,” said Corinne emotionlessly. “He insisted oning with me, so we had no choice


    but to leave Joey with you. Plus, Joey’s his kid, not mine.”


    Francine could tell something was off with Corinne, but she could not really put her finger on it. She


    took a peek behind Corinne and asked, “Where’s Jeremy? Did youe back alone?”


    “He’s having drinks with Zeke and the others, so he should be backte,” she replied. After that, she


    walked past Francine to get into her own room.


    Francine frowned. She could tell Corinne was not in a good mood. Worried about her, she followed her


    and asked, “Hey, are you okay? Why do you look so out of it?”


    Corinne avoided looking at her. “I’m just a bit tired, that’s all.”


    “Did you have a fight with Jeremy?”


    “No.”


    Francine crossed her arms and pouted. “Corinne, I’m not taking sides here, but you should know how


    hard it is for Jeremy to find time to spend with you. You shouldn’t fight with him after all the trouble he


    had taken toe back here.”


    Corinne scoffed. “Fine. It’s all my fault. But don’t worry. Your brother is going to give you a new sister-


    inw who’s kind and thoughtful soon!”


    Francine was speechless. She did not expect Corinne to react like that.


    After her little outburst, Corinne ignored Francine and went back into her room.


    Francine immediately knew she had misspoken. She scratched her head and was about to apologize


    to Corinne when Corinne mmed the door in her face.
